It is their passion that allows us to admire and cherish them today. www.imcos.org 3 4 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Ljiljana Ortolja-Baird My first IMCoS editorial is being despatched from my home in Quendon, a small village in the north-west corner of Essex in East Anglia. The fields around me lie silent under several inches of snow and the thermometer registers -1°C, (30°F). The wintery conditions here prompt thoughts on our 2013 symposium destination, Alaska. It too, is situated in a north-west position and lies under a blanket of snow, but there the similarities end. The magic of the Internet allows me to check on our host city. On 18 January, as I write, Fairbanks recorded -34°C, (-29°F) in the morning and dropped further to -42°C, (-44°F) in the evening. Such temperatures are beyond my experience. Alaska doesn’t do anything by halves; it is the largest state of America, larger than the combined area of the next three largest states: Texas, California and Montana and the least densely populated. Nicknamed ‘the last frontier’, this vast wilderness of breathtaking natural beauty, I suspect, will out the explorer in all of us. Travelling across its immense landscape would be a grand adventure. Additionally, to further delight us, is the outstanding collection of maps of the polar region at the Elmer E. Rasmuson library that will be available for viewing. The provisional schedule on page 9 is a taster of what’s on offer; it looks promising and I hope it will inspire many of you to visit this extraordinary outpost of the North-American continent and enjoy its cartographic treasures. The first IMCoS event for 2013 is a great deal closer for me: the Map Collectors’ Evening takes place in London on March 5, at which we hope to see a good turnout. Under Francis Herbert’s guidance we’ll be looking at battle plans and maps but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring less pugnacious maps for identification and/or discussion. The March date is followed by our AGM and Annual dinner at which, this year, we have the colourful author, broadcaster and raconteur Mike Parker as our guest speaker. This event, as usual, coincides with the cartographic highlight on the calendar of all map collectors – the London Map Fair, which this year, organiser Tim Bryars tells me has already sold out.

An autobiographical account of his boyhood is given, and large extracts from the private journals and letters to his wife, his family and friends, as these record better than any panegyric the untiring energy and enthusiasm which never flagged during a long life, rendering it a useful and a very happy one.

STOLJEĆA I NJEGOV IZVORNI IZVJEŠTAJ O VEZALOVOJ SMRTI 1564. GODINE Maurits Biesbrouck1, Theodoor Goddeeris2 and Omer Steeno3 Summary Reiner Solenander (1524-1601) was a physician born in the Duchy of Cleves, who got his education at the University of Leuven and at various universities in Italy and in France. Back at home he became the court physician of William V and later of his son John William. In this article his life and works are discussed. A report on the death of Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), noted down by Solenander in May 1566, one year and seven months after the death of Vesalius, is discussed in detail. Due to the importance of that document a copy of its first publication is given, together with a transcription and a translation as well. It indicates that Vesalius did not die in a shipwreck.

They might have recorded a low- lying reef or thought they saw a reef. They could have been in the wrong place. There is all number of possibilities," he said. "But what we do have is a dotted shape on the map that's been recorded at that time and it appears it's simply been copied over time." The supposed 'Sandy Island' as seen on Google Earth. A New Zealand researcher Monday claimed to have solved the riddle of a mystery South Pacific island shown on Google Earth and world maps which does not exist, blaming a whaling ship from 1876.

  • Visscher Redrawn
    VISSCHER REDRAWN By Robin Reynolds after Claes Jansz Visscher 1 Visscher Redrawn is a pen-and-ink revision of Dutch engraver Claes Jansz Visscher’s London panorama, published in 1616. In it, 21st century artist Robin Reynolds depicts modern London, arranged on the fantastic Visscher landscape. The new work was first exhibited at London’s Guildhall Art Gallery from February to November 2016, as part of the City of London’s William Shakespeare 400th and Great Fire 350th anniversary programmes. The piece includes references to the Great Fire and the London Blitz – two events that reshaped London – and hidden in the drawing are visual references to all of Shakespeare’s major works. You can find the clues, drawn from Shakespeare’s texts, on pages 17-20. While researching Visscher Redrawn, Robin Reynolds explored the life and works of Visscher and his associates in the Dutch Golden Age. Included in this handbook is his essay, Secrets in the Sky, setting out the evidence that he believes explains how the Visscher panorama was compiled by a man who had never set eyes on London. 1 CONTENTS THE 2016 PROJECT Claes Jansz Visscher 4-5 The idea of a modern London revision would be 2016 – the 400th The secret was a scroll-box, designed view in the fashion of the 1616 anniversary of the Visscher version and built by Reading carpenter Robin Reynolds 6-7 Visscher panorama surfaced in the – so again, the idea was put on ice.
